Frontline War
(Lyrics)
It’s 7pm take your pots and pans
Bang em as loud as you can
For all those on the front line.
Be happy where you’re at
Don’t for get to tip your hat
Thank your lucky stars you’re doing fine
They’ve shut the schools and most factories down
And there aint a soul around
All the news on your phone
Is telling you to stay the hell at home
Chorus
Mr. Einstein is dyin’
All the nurses are cryin’
The gates of heaven are backed up
right to the city morgue
Welcome to the frontline war
Sylvie works in long-term care
long hours it don’t seem fair
but she does it anyway
She can’t believe how they’re gone so fast
Wonders how long this will last
Leaves her speechless with so much to say
Now it’s better if she don’t go home
Only talks to her family on the phone
She tells them she’ll be fine
She’s laying her life on the front line
Chorus
Mr. Einstein is dyin’
all the nurses are cryin’
The gates of heaven are backed up
right to the city morgue
Welcome to the frontline war
Chorus

It’s 7pm take your pots and pans
Bang em as loud as you can
For all those on the front line.
